NIRBHAYA - An initiative to tell your own story

Unwanted sexual remarks by a man to a woman in a public place is defined as eve teasing by the Google Baba. 

But this does not explains the intensity of the situation,there is much more to it.
We ignore to see that it has disastrous consequences Leading to serious psychological problems and even sometimes young girls committing suicide. 

it is so evident that it can be seen almost everywhere at educational institution, places of worship, bus stand, metro station, railway stations, cinema theaters, parks, places of festival, streets or any other similar place where a man can find a girl easily on his mark.

Every citizen in this country has the right to live with dignity and honor which is a fundamental right guaranteed under constitution of India.

Under Indian panel code, There are several provisions which describe and define eve teasing. The recent amendment in the Criminal Law Act 2013 even expresses eve teasing as a expressed offence

But I don't think I need to tell you how ineffective these laws are when it comes to practicality .The loopholes of our law system or Judiciary are well-known to all of us.

The issue of women security is only Raised when tragedy like Nirbhaya rape case take place and after some time it is forgotten.

It is so Ironic to see how women who is considered a goddess on one side is maltreated like this by the same People on the other side and then also blamed for being maltreated because of her clothing,behavior or character or any other reason.


I HOPE WE DON'T NEED MORE MORE NIRBHAYA CASES IN INDIA TO WAKE US UP

INJUSTICE ANYWHERE IS THREAT TO JUSTICE EVERYWHERE

LETS FIGHT TOGETHER, NOT TO WIN BUT TO CHANGE

Inspiring India

The irony of our fundamental rights...

Unfortunately we live in a democratic country in which citizens are not allowed to practice even fundamental rights like right to speech,right to choose and freedom for expression.These rights are only seen as mere text in Constitution with no practical usage.

The biggest communal riot in the world was the partition of India and Pakistan which was merely a resultant of religion when attached to politics.Everything is good until we don't connect religion with politics.

The Hindus and Muslims have always coexisted with no conflict and with their own identity and religious consciousness.The politics separated them.

Even after such a big mistake we are not learning for the past  instead doing the same since decades.

Hindus have always suppressed the minority classes whether it is Muslims,Sikhs, Christians or any other religion.
They have always shown their dominance and killed thousands of people for the sake of maintaining their majority
I don't understand Why do they have  a problem of attaching a political angle to everything
Today also we can see this shocking news after The Kashmir and JNU violence another case of conflict when a totally different political angle was attached to the situation in Ramjas where a mere seminar was seen as a danger to nation by the ABVP goons Assuming that Umar Khalid was speaking anti national even before the seminar who has not been declared anti national till now.
The politicians hipe things for their benefit,misuse their power and ignore the disastrous result of the action.

I don't understand
When will our politicians start working for the betterment of the *COUNTRY INDIA*
AND
*NOT SEPARATING THEM BY CONGRESS, BJP etc*
Enough now,
We only know to compare our country with America but we forget the fact that those countries focus on the development of the country and keep the internal problems secondary
But here in our country we are just tangled into India-Pakistan and Hindu-Muslim issue
The grass root truth is even today if you go to a village in India where both Hindu and Muslims live.You will find that there is no conflict between them because they both respect each others religion.
The conflict arises with politics

So today i would like to urge you people to stop blaming what police did ,What ABVP did or what the Ramjas students did.

Lets just stop blaming others
And think of what we can do on our part ..

MAKING A DIFFERENCE...

                                          https://youtu.be/HvR5j0sCnbs

 The LGBT community or GLBT community, is a grouping of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) and LGBT-supportive people, organizations, and subcultures, united by a common culture and social movements. These communities generally celebrate pride, diversity, individuality, and sexuality. 

LGBT communities may organize themselves into, or support, movements for civil rights promoting LGBT rights in various places around the world.

Problems Faced by LGBT People: 

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) people face tremendous 
difficulties growing up in a society where heterosexuality is often presented as the only acceptable orientation
and homosexuality is regarded as deviant. They continue to face discrimination and exclusion across the world 

in all spheres of life.

What to do?

We need to understand that they are normal people like us and we had no one to impose the rights and wrongs on them 

We need to change our perspective towards the world 

So let's give them the right they deserve 

equality

acceptance 

support

and 

respect

 Lets create a new world with a new perspective

Think it as a initiative by the government to do something good
The effect will be good or bad we don't know
yes i agree that implementation could have been better
but lets not take just that into considerationWhen the government doesn't do anything we blame them that they only say but dont do anything
So for the first time the government has done something very unique that is good for the country in long run

Diwali,Crackers,Pollution,Noise, Accidents and more

Diwali is India's big festival. Diwali means rows of lighted lamps.

 It is a festival of lights and all Indian Hindus celebrate it.

It is celebrated to mark the return of Lord Ram from 14 years of exile and his victory over the demon Ravan. 

During this festival,people light up their homes and shops, to welcome the goddess of wealth and fortune, Lakshmi to welcome her in to give them good luck for the year ahead.  and Lord Ganesh for good welfare and prosperity.

 People believe that on this day, Hindu Goddess Laxmi enters only those houses which are neat and tidy. People offer prayers for their own health, wealth and prosperity. They leave the light on in buildings in their belief that Goddess Laxmi will find no difficulty in finding her way in.

People light up their houses,put diyas ,candles and burn crackers to mark it as returning of Lord Rama in happiness.

In the name of making the goddess happy people tend to pollute the environment as the firecrackers create a lot of pollution which is harmful for all living beings.

Other communal riots

Gujarat communal riots (1969)

Religious violence broke out between Hindus and Muslims during September–October 1969, in Gujarat. It was the most deadly Hindu-Muslim violence since the 1947 partition of India.

The rioting started after an attack on a Hindu temple in Ahmedabad, but rapidly expanded to major cities and towns of Gujarat.

                  

The violence included attacks on Muslim chawls by their Dalit Hindu neighbours.

 Some 660 people were killed (430 Muslims, rest Hindus), 1074 people were injured and over 48,000 lost their property.

Anti-Sikh Riots (1984)

In the 1970s,  Punjab had Sikh- autonomy and complained about domination by the Hindu. 

In Indira Gandhi's attempt to "save democracy" through the Emergency, India's constitution was suspended, 140,000 people were arrested without due process, of which 40,000 were Sikhs.

 Bhindranwale began to oppose the central government and moved his political base to the Darbar Sahib (Golden temple) in Amritsar, demanding creation on Punjab as a new country.

In June 1984, under orders from Indira Gandhi, the Indian army attacked the Golden temple with tanks and armoured vehicles

 

 Thousands of Sikhs died during the attack.

 In retaliation for the storming of the Golden temple, Indira Gandhi was assassinated on 31 October 1984 by two Sikh bodyguards.

    

The assassination provoked mass rioting against Sikh.

  As a result of the pogroms 10,000–17,000 Sikhs were burned alive or otherwise killed, Sikh people suffered massive property damage, and at least 50,000 Sikhs were displaced.

Ethnic cleansing of Kashmiri Hindus

In the Kashmir region, approximately 300 Kashmiri Pandits were killed between September 1989 to 1990 in various incidents.

 Notices were placed on the houses of all Hindus, telling them to leave within 24 hours or die.

 The proportion of Kashmiri Pandits in the Kashmir valley has declined from about 15% in 1947 to, by some estimates, less than 0.1% since the insurgency in Kashmir took on a religious and sectarian flavour.

Many Kashmiri Pandits have been killed by Islamist militants in incidents such as the Wandhama massacre and the 2000 Amarnath pilgrimage massacre.

Anti-Christian violence

A 1999 Human Rights Watch report states increasing levels of religious violence on Christians in India, perpetrated by Hindu organizations. 

In 2000, acts of religious violence against Christians included forcible reconversion of converted Christians to Hinduism, distribution of threatening literature and destruction of Christian cemeteries.

In Orissa, starting December 2007, Christians have     been attacked in Kandhamal and other districts, resulting in the deaths of two Hindus and one Christian, and the destruction of houses and churches. 

Hindus claim that Christians killed a Hindu saint Laxmananand, and the attacks on Christians were in retaliation. However, there was no conclusive proof to support this claim. Twenty people were arrested following the attacks on churches.Similarly, starting 14 September 2008, there were numerous incidents of violence against the Christian community in Karnataka.

HOWeVER, From all the examples of riots and violence in India are mainly the consequences of conflicts between religion and politics.  

MOREOVER, its evident that all the violence is against the minority communities..

The Hindus being a majority community have always dominated and oppressed the minority.

PARTITION OF INDIA

The Partition of India was the partition of the British IndianEmpire that led to the creation of the sovereign states of the Dominion of Pakistan (which later split into Pakistan and Bangladesh) and the Union of India (later Republic of India) on 15 August 1947.

The most saddening event in the history of modern India was partition. India was broken down into two states on the basis for religion. One part created was for the Muslims, Pakistan and the other was said to be Hindu dominated India. Partition was said to create ripples in both the communities which would not heal for many years to come and not to mention, the rivalry for 65 years.

Partition of Bengal (1905)

Bengal was partitioned by the British, in 1905, along religious lines - a Muslim majority state of East Bengal and a Hindu majority state of West Bengal. 

There were dozens of violent riots, between Muslims and Hindus, in the 1910s through the 1930s

                    

Partition of British India (1947)

 The British followed a divide-and-rule policy. In that respect, Indian Muslims were encouraged to forge a cultural and political identity separate from the Hindus.

 In the years leading up to Independence, Mohammad Ali Jinnah became increasingly concerned about minority position of Islam in an independent India largely composed of a Hindu majority.

Partition is somehow only on the basis of religious grounds.And whenever religion and politics come in contact of each other it always lead to a large destruction and massacre,ALWAYS.

You can take any worldwide example to justify this fact.

So to prevent the war from happening we need to keep religion and politics separated.



The Partition of Bengal was a cause of British's "Divide and Rule" Policy to break down the unity in diversity and keep them separated.
 The Partition of Pakistan was because of Jinnah who demanded a separate country for Muslims as they had a insecurity in themselves being a minority community to be oppressed by the majority community.

All this would have been resisted as lets not forget the fact that the Hindus and Muslims are living together since centuries accepting each other and their beliefs and customs until the political parties mis-used this distinction for their benefit.




RELIGION AND POLITICS SHOULD BE KEPT SEPARATED
AND
RELIGIOUS COMMUNITIES SHOULD NOT GET INFLUENCED 
BY THESE POLITICAL PARTIES
ANY MORE

Politics and Power when misused and manipulated satisfying their own needs turns into destruction at the end for everyone.
INDIA was a peaceful and harmonious country until the politics contaminated the pond.

MINORITY VS MAJORITY

Minority community is a term referring to a category of people differentiated from the social majority, i.e., those who hold the majority of positions of social power in a society, and may be defined by law. 

 Minority communities in India, include
 Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists, Zoroastrians (Parsis) and Jains notified as minority communities under Section 2 (c) of the National Commission for Minorities Act, 1992.

Each community has its own religion with its own traditional  practices and beliefs
Communal violence in India includes acts of violence by followers of one religious group against followers and institutions of another religious group, often in the form of rioting.
 Religious violence in India, especially in recent times, has generally involved Hindus and Muslims, although incidents of violence have also involved atheists,Christians, Jews, and Sikhs

THE MINORITY COMMUNITY  IN INDIA HAVE ALWAYS BEEN EXPLOITED AND OPPRESSED BY THE MAJORITY GROUP

Ragpickers in India

India has a serious garbage disposal problem. The quantum of garbage generated has gone up and even smaller cities are producing more rubbish than before. The landfills are overburdened and proper segregation of waste is a crying need. And while the problem continues to pile on unabated, the people carrying this burden, the ragpickers whose services almost all of us rely on for keeping our surroundings clean, continue to languish unacknowledged by the government.

Ragpickers play an important role in our lives without our notice.The total number of rag pickers in India is not known.As the nation works to make India 'Swachh', what needs to be kept in mind is the harsh and unhygienic working conditions of the ragpickers. What we

need is a broader framework of the sanitation programme to bring this unorganized sector into the folds of our vision of Swachh Bharat.

The struggle the ragpickers go through everyday is worst than we can imagine.And there is nobody to look after themDespite performing a very useful social service at great risk to their health and well-being, for little money, their contribution to our dream of a Swachch Bharat is clearly being undermined. 

Lets have a look on who RAGPICKERS actually are!!

                                                                    WHO

Extremely poor, illiterate, and belong to rural immigrant families

     WHEN 

Many commence their profession at the young age of five to eight years

 WHY 

Most of them never attended any school or have any formal education.Most of their families are in need of extra incomes from these young children 

 WHAT 

Subjected to chemical poisons and infections

 RESULTS 

Retarded growth and anaemia,susceptible to diseases like tuberculosis and cancer

THEY HAVE A MAJOR ROLE IN WASTE GENERATION as IN FORMAL COLLECTION (MUNICIPALTY) AND INFORMAL COLLECTION OF DUSTBINS AMD MUNICIPAL COLLECTION OF LAND FILL AND as THELIWALAS,KABARIWALAS and RECYCLERS.


      According to a survey conducted in Delhi,it is seen that a large population of children are                                       working in shops, as rag-pickers, or at restaurants. 

1. Not only do the children work for long hours – a minimum of 12 hours each day – for very low wages but they are vulnerable to exploitation, child abuse and traffickers.  The children are also at risk of catching diseases from the toxic rubbish.Many of the children who roam the dumps have run away from home to live on the streets. Others are from families who live by the side of the dumps.

1. 
   
2. 
   
3. The Indian Government has recognized Rag pickers and the informal recycling sector through policies and law. Some of these are
4.  E-Waste (Management and Handling) 2011 
5. • Plastics Waste (Management and Handling) 2011
6.  • National Action Plan on Climate Change 2009 
7. • CAG Report 2007 • National Environment Policy 2006 
8. Apart from the government efforts , Many NGO’s such as Chintan ,Umeed-a drop of hope, MAD are working for the betterment of Rag pickers.
9.  
10. 
    
11. Government should really look after these deprived people and must provide them with social status , job opportunity , education and look after their health and shelter related problems.
